Gateway question

[scalz]

for side note, I just would like to confirm that esp8266(nodemcu in my case) mqtt client gw works ok with rfm69 ;) with a nice rgb led using indication api :) but I use serial gw as regular.

I'm not using rs485 sorry :disappointed: unfortunately there are some work I think to make what you want working (and that would need software serial stuff, not the greatest thing imho but that's useful sometimes..)
A bit too bad that you need to use wifi with rs485..but I guess you have your reason ;) I just mean with rs485 you can have long wire so you could reach a simple rs485 gw connected to controller, but maybe you can't reach your controller with wire?

Well, it is not so much about having to use a wire although I think that when possible things should be wireless. It is more about that I don't have a NRF card but only a ESP card and I would like to get something working since it takes a few weeks to get the NRF cards.

Arduino+NRF can be used as a node, Arduino+ESP can't. Wasn't even thinking that no one had done that before and that there wasn't any support for it. The only difference in my mind is that the ESP have to be configured to connect to a wireless network first. After that there shouldn't have to be any difference with the communication. But maybe the example above could work?

But as I said, I have no experience about this and just got my first Arduino a few days ago, so I have no clue about these things.
